³² For ^(A)I have no pleasure in the death of one who dies,” says the Lord God. “Therefore turn and ^(B)live!”

^9 (A)The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but ^(B)is longsuffering toward ^[a]us, ^(C)not willing that any should perish but ^(D)that all should come to repentance.

Trained by Saving Grace

¹¹ For ^(A)the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men,

¹⁵ that whoever ^(A)believes in Him should ^[a]not perish but ^(B)have eternal life. ^16 (C)For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten ^(D)Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. ^17 (E)For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.

¹¹ Say to them: ‘As I live,’ says the Lord God, ^(A)‘I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but that the wicked ^(B)turn from his way and live. Turn, turn from your evil ways! For ^(C)why should you die, O house of Israel?’

^25 (A)in humility correcting those who are in opposition, ^(B)if God perhaps will grant them repentance, ^(C)so that they may know the truth,

¹⁰ For to this end ^[a]we both labor and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, ^(A)who is the Savior of all men, especially of those who believe.
